Attributes:

Name Description
BiasSetpointScalar: DevDouble Bias setpoint of the head in v.
HeadStateScalar: DevString Head state.
SCAModeScalar: DevString Mode of the SCA: INT or WIN
SCALowThScalar: DevDouble Low level discriminator level.
SCAWinThScalar: DevDouble Window width (only used in WIN mode).
RateWinScalar: DevDouble Rate meter value in WIN mode.
RateIntScalar: DevDouble Rate meter value in INT mode.
HVStateScalar: DevString —
HeadTemperatureScalar: DevDouble Temperature of the head. Range of measurement from 0 to 50 C with a resolution of 0.05 C.
HeadCurrentScalar: DevDouble Current of bias voltage of the head. Range from 0 to 11 uA, with a resolution of 24nA.
CountingSourceScalar: DevString Selects/Returns the current counting source: SCA or TRG
CountsScalar: DevLong —
HeadVoltageScalar: DevDouble Bias voltage of the head. Range from 0 to 655 V, with a resolution of 0.6V

ScanSpectrumSpectrum: DevLong Output of the scan

Commands:

Name Description
StateInput: DevVoid
Output: State
State Code		 This command gets the device state (stored in its <i>device_state</i> data member) and returns it to the caller.
StatusInput: DevVoid
Output: ConstDevString
Status description		 This command gets the device status (stored in its <i>device_status</i> data member) and returns it to the caller.
StartCounterInput: DevVarLongArray
Counting time, number of repetitions
Output: DevVoid		 Starts the counter using the internal time base. The counting time muss always be given (in us). The number of repetitions is optional (1 by default).
StartScanInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Start an scan in the threshold for integration mode measurements. It uses the attributes ScanLowLimit, ScanHighLimit, ScanNbSteps and ScanIntegrationTime
StopScanInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Stops the scan after finishing the current point.
